20 Things We Love About Maui

Haleakala Brocken Spectre

18 The Brocken Spectre atop Haleakalā

A late-afternoon visit to the Leleiwi Overlook near Haleakalā’s summit may reward you with a magical sight: your own shadow cast on the clouds, magnified and surrounded by a halo of rainbows.

Napili Kai studio

19 Nāpili Kai oceanfront studio

For straight, unfiltered luxury, book an oceanfront studio in the Puna 2 building. From your bed you can watch sea turtles paddle around Nāpili Bay. This vintage resort has plenty more to offer, too, including a Grammy Award-winning slack-key-guitar concert and the most heavenly oven-baked pancakes.

Keawala‘i Church

20 Keawala‘i Church

Originally built out of pili grass, this beautiful seaside sanctuary has served its flock since 1832. It now has stone walls, ‘ōhi‘a wood floors, an altar made of ‘ulu, koa, milo, and ‘iliahi woods, and windows that open wide to accommodate overflow—on special occasions, the church fills to standing room only. In truth, every Sunday is special when the congregation rises to sing hymns in Hawaiian.
